The Accord is still the best midsize sedan

2016 Honda Accord EX 4dr Sedan (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

This is the 4th Accord my family has owned, and it's the best yet. The EX model that we just got has amazing features for the price, including remote start, AndroidAuto/AppleCarPlay, moonroof, smart entry/putshbutton start, dual zone climate control, rear seat AC vents, etc, etc. Love the LED daytime running lights, fog lights, and tail lights. As always with an Accord you get great comfort and room, sporty handling, and excellent sight lines all around. The last is quite important, since most cars these days have poor visibility out the back. Excellent power and gas mileage. Compared to previous generations of Accord this car is quiet and powerful. Love the car so far.

Honda 2016 Sens Accord

2016 Honda Accord LX 4dr Sedan w/Honda Sensing (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

Road sensor is very good, though it puts too much distance between you and the car in front of you, annoying drivers behind you.

Great car marred by infotainment & dim instruments

2016 Honda Accord EX-L V-6 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)

This is a great car marred only by a maddening and slow infotainment system and instrument panel lights that are difficult to see with polarized sunglasses. The infotainment would be okay except the touchscreen symbols frequently need two or three pushes to make something happen. The infotainment control wheel/button would make an acceptable substitute for dials except for the delay when you push the button to change from, say FM to Sirius/XM. It's measured in seconds - come on Honda these are electrons for heaven's sake. The instrument panel lighting control doesn't seem to want to work unless the headlights are on and it is dark outside, and then you can't turn it bright enough for daytime use to offset the view through sunglasses, especially the gray-on-black center portion of the display. Hopefully Honda will check he simplicity and clarity of their past designs and get serious about a do-over. Then the Accord would be a perfect car. Update: Very comfortable. Wonderful engine. Transmission occasionally loses its way on slow acceleration after stop signs. Tire pressure monitoring system DOESN'T MEASURE TIRE PRESSURE! Within all the convoluted infotainment screens you can't find a simple diagram showing tire pressure at each wheel. The TPMS calibration feature can't activate unless the vehicle is stopped but the calibration only takes place after the vehicle has been running for awhile at 30-60 mph so it can measure rolling characteristics. When the air temperature is very cold, say 10 deg F, and all four tires are equally underinflated, there is no warning. I'm beginning to think all the best Honda engineers were working on the NSX. Please, please, please Honda give the infotainment system a massive overhaul, including a TPMS system that actually measures and shows tire pressures. Update 6/2018: A very good car that continues to be marred by electronic glitches. Bulletproof transportation. Wonderful for trips with a very powerful, very smooth engine with decent gas mileage, low 20s around town, high 20s highway. Leather seats comfortable for tall (me) and short (spouse) alike. Large, well-shaped trunk. No squeaks or rattles. The automatic (non-CVT) transmission occasionally stumbles over itself pulling away from a stop sign as if it can't figure out which gear to be in, but once rolling it is a dream. Throttle tip-in is quite sensitive making me feel like a beginning driver, even though I've been driving for over 40 years. The remote fob is overly sensitive, fully capable of popping the trunk lid while the fob is in my pocket, in my second floor office. The infotainment hell continues, the latest being that the USB port in the center armrest cubby has decided it only wants to recognize my music stick some of the time. The rest of the time it shows a big Unplayable warning. The USB port in the dash doesn't seem to have the same problem but with the stick in place the flap door can't close all the way. Would I get it again? Maybe, if the infotainment undergoes a massive overhaul, if the fob could be made less sensitive, if the transmission could be fine tuned, but then again, maybe asking for a modern car to be free of digital gremlins is asking too much. I may even keep it when the lease runs out. The good far outweighs the bad.

Really Nice Car!!

2016 Honda Accord Touring V-6 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful

Ok I'm a Honda and fan and I've owned several Accords over the years. This 2016 Accord Touring is the best most sophisticated Accord yet! I really love everything about the car EXCEPT the interior room. I'm 6'5 and this model has the least headroom I believe ever. I'm tall but very lean and I feel tight and a bit cramped when I drive. My 2009 Accord V6 was way roomier and I sat far more comfortably. People complained that model was too big but I loved it. I still love this car and highly recommend it except for really tall people like me.
